Description
Joseph Murray Ince (1806-59) was a successful artist, best known for his watercolour landscapes. He was born in London in April 1806 but moved with his parents to the Presteigne area in early childhood, and is believed to have attended John Beddoes Free Grammar School when it was still on its original site opposite the church. After receiving some private tuition in Hereford he moved to London for further training in 1826. He returned to Presteigne in 1830 and became a successful landscape painter. He also retained his premises in London as he needed to be near the galleries and wealthy people who could buy his work. He painted landscapes and country houses, and produced a series of pictures on the colleges of Cambridge University.
